Family History:
Sabbath is Gitano (Spanish Roma) and is intrinsically connected to his extended Romany family who are very close knit and protective. They are mostly based in Granada, but travel throughout Spain and occasionally abroad as performers of the flamenco arts. His grandmother who was also flamenco dancer in her younger years, is a most respected matriarchal figure in the family, and still takes part in performances as a singer, helping to provide a steady income for her brood.

Intrigue surrounds Sabbath’s family background. The truth behind his conception remains a family secret, which Sabbath longs to unlock. To his knowledge, an only child, raised by his grandmother, Sabbath had always been told that his mother became pregnant following a violent attack. It was a painful subject for his grandmother, so she refused to discuss it. However, one drunken night after the third night of celebrations at a cousins wedding, Sabbath’s uncle let slip that his mother and father had, in fact, loved each other very deeply. The relationship had been strongly forbidden by both of their respective families and because they were both very young, the lovers had been forcefully separated, but not before Sabbath had been conceived. Sabbath’s father had never known he existed and immediately following Sabbath’s birth, his mother was sent to live with extended family abroad. Sabbath tries to remain stoic and maintains that it doesn’t matter to him, but, in actuality he has a deep desire to know the truth and fervently hopes his parents had a profound and true love for each other.

To this day Sabbath does not know the identity of his father, only assuming that he must have indeed been a wizard. As far as he knows, Sabbath is the first of the wizarding kind within his large Romany family. Despite not knowing his father, Sabbath has had a strong male influence in his life, his Romany heritage meant many uncles and cousins travelled and lived with him. The clan also have rich heritage of music and dance and make their living performing. The family men are teaching Sabbath to play flamenco guitar and he also dances flamenco.

Personality:
Sabbath has had a tough upbringing but it has strengthened him rather than weakened him. He is wise beyond his years and very independent. Raised and sometimes schooled by his grandmother and other Romany elders (and generally enjoying the company of older people), he maintains his own ‘old world charm’. He has always been taught to use his wiles and wit to get ahead. He believes that manners usually get you further than arrogance.

Although he has a great camaraderie with his mates, he has always been taught to respect women and girls, and has always enjoyed being in their company. When he was little, his aunties loved to coddle him and had gushed over his intense eyes. He learnt at a young age to use their intensity to his advantage. Sabbath is fiercely loyal to his family and friends, but is very selective about who he admits to his close circle. Although he tries to be impassive, he has a soft spot for the underdog.

Likes:

Now that he is old enough, joining in the night time drinks and revelries with the men while singing and playing bulerias (style of singing and playing flamenco). He particularly loves the oral histories told by the Romany elders and sharing in their depictions through music.

Dislikes:

Being away from his family
People who play the fool
